Oh how the days fly

Today was a good day in the land of the Knee Highs. No huge arguments. No big spats. No hair pulling or screaming or crying.
And the kids were good too! :)
We (kids and I) actually went to church today. It was nice. To be in the house of the Lord again. Even if it was new and different, I wasn't there to fall in love with the building. I was there to feel whole again. And that is exactly what happened. I needed to be in church so badly. It was good. I plan on going back. J has promised to go with me next week. (Please, God, Please?!?)
I have had a day of eye opening. I have realised today, through others' comments to me, and interactions with others, that I am WAY too open with people.
People don't always want every detail of your life. When they say "How are you?" they want to hear "I'm fine. And you?" They dont' want to REALLY hear how you are. That's TMI for most people. In the back of their minds, that's too much baggage. Then, every time they hear you, see you, talk to you, they are thinking about all the stuff you have told them about your life, and wondering if they'll be required to comment on it, or worse, to hear even MORE details about it.
It has taken me approximately 4 years of having friends to realize this. But you know what? When I ask you, how are YOU? I really want to know. I am really interested. I am concerned that everything goes well in your life, and if it's not, I want to know if I can be of any help. This is not so with everyone I know.

I know that now.

You learn something new every day.
Thanks God. Now, I pray Lord, help me to remember that in my interactions with others.
